Chelsea Star Set To Make Shock Move To Barcelona

Barcelona have been rebuffed by Chelsea after an approach regarding a potential January move for Andreas Christensen. The Spanish champions are currently looking into potential defensive reinforcements with Samuel Umtiti increasingly likely to undergo surgery on a knee injury. Matthijs de Ligt, the Ajax defender, is Barcelona’s No.1 target, but Ajax are unwilling to sell until next summer. That could see Barcelona move now, for Christensen, potentially freeing up De Ligt for others next summer; Juventus are monitoring his situation. Christensen is also rumoured to be wanted by AC Milan as he considers a move away from Stamford Bridge having become unhappy with his role under Maurizio Sarri.

Pusha T Talks About The Current State Of Hip-Hop And When He Will Be Retiring

Pusha T has been grinding for a quarter century, building on the foundation he laid as part of Clipse. The rapper, who is now 41 years old, still has a lot of plans for the future, including the curation of a mixtape featuring up and coming rappers. During a recent interview, Pusha spoke about the new generation of Hip Hop and how he perceives himself within the current era of the genre. He has no plans to retire as of yet. From his perspective as a veteran emcee, the run only ends once the spark for creativity is lost. "I don’t think lyric-driven hip-hop goes out of style. I think that stays around forever, and then I feel like you retire when you’re out of the mix of it and out of the culture and lifestyle of it. When you start not caring about hip-hop aesthetics and just being first and competing, then you supposed to be like, alright cool, I’m out. But until then, I still know what’s fresh to put on and so on and so forth." While maintaining his sta...

By 2019, Over 3.9 Billion People Will Have Access To The Internet

No fewer than 3.9 billion people, making up more than half the world population, will have access to the internet by the end of 2018, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) said. The United Nations telecommunications agency made the projection in its Global and Regional Estimates for 2018. The latest figures also spotlight Africa, which shows the strongest rate of growth in internet access, from around two per cent in 2005, to more than 24 per cent of the African population in 2018. Europe and the Americas are the regions with the slowest growth rates, though the current figures show that 79.6 per cent and 69.6 per cent are online, respectively. ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao said “the estimates are a pointer to the great strides the world is making towards building a more inclusive global information society”. The record figure of 3.9 billion people, or 51.2 per cent that will be online by the end of December, is an important milestone in the digital revol...

Loftus-Cheek Voted By Chelsea Fans To Start For Chelsea Against Man City

Chelsea will attempt to bounce back from Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers when they host Manchester City on Saturday afternoon. The Blues are currently fourth in the Premier League table, a huge 10 points off City despite only suffering two league defeats this term. It will certainly be interesting to see Maurizio Sarri’s starting XI, with a number of players just struggling for form at the moment. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has scored in his last two Premier League appearances for Chelsea, including against Wolves last time out. And the Chelsea fans were asked in a recent poll whether they wanted the England international to start against City, who need to keep winning due to the form of Liverpool. A huge 89% said that they wanted the 22-year-old – valued at £16.2m by Transfermarkt – to be included in the starting XI, and it remains to be seen whether Sarri takes their advice for the key match.
